For forty years, Diana Lorence has lived in a succession of very small houses, often without electricity. Her search is for something she remembers from a time before remembering, a unity of life in place, time, and mind. That search has led her through more than thirty moves across America, from the far West to the eastern shores, at last to Europe and the edge of Asia.

In 2004, in the solitude and silence of the woods in coastal California, Diana and her husband built a 12 x 12 foot cabin Diana called “Innermost House.” There, in a world lit only by fire, she at last found the unity she sought. Diana’s Innermost Life answered her deepest need for something we have all left behind. Her life reminds us that it is not yet too late to regain the paradise we have lost. 

Diana no longer publishes her writings, but she still accepts invitations to speak of her experience, and interest in her search and its conclusion at Innermost House continues to grow. What she has done in her way, we may do in our own.  We each see something of ourselves in Diana's beautiful story.  We all have an Innermost Life. 

"Sometimes you come across something and it makes your heart beat a little faster, your hope grow a little stronger, your love grow a little deeper, your belief a little firmer, your passions a little fiercer. It moves you. Changes you. Revives you. Uplifts you. Innermost House is one of those things."
